Today, we found out that my unborn sibling is a girl, and my parents quickly named her. In a few years' time, "Candida" is going to catch all kinds of shit at school, just like I do for being named Dorothy. My "friends" have already started calling me "lil' yeast infection's sis". FML

I was tempted to google it but figured I'd check the comments first since someone else probably already googled it and might've said something... Thanks for the warning. Now to see if I can get my boyfriend to look it up instead! :D lol

Now I don't want to be rude or anything, but these parents are just asking to be hit. There hasn't been a baby name this bad since the time Mr. West named his kid North, or when the Egyptian called his kid Facebook. Next thing you know, you'll have a whole generation of kids with punny names relating to sex, Internet and weird fungus'.

I see nothing wrong with Dorothy except the aforementioned Wizard of Oz bullshit (seriously, OP if you're reading this I'm curious to know if you constantly have every idiot you meet say "we're not in Kansas anymore" and guffaw like they're the first ones to think of it).

Candida, though? That's like an urban legend come to life. I'd honestly rather be called Jermajesty.

I was also thinking Candy. I know it's a stretch, but I would even prefer Cindy or something like that. Hell, even something like Dia. ANYTHING! OP, show your parents how the FML community has responded, maybe then they could at least begin to see the error in their way of thinking.

sounds like her mom is pretty healthly & has never had any reason to know anything about the subject, until recently I didn't even know what a yeast infection was until my curiousity from commercials wore me down, however I do see your point, if I was naming my child, I'd most definitely do my research

10 - My friend's mom is a doctor. She told us a story once about how a woman came into her practice with her two children, whose names were Chlamydia and Gonnorhea (or however you spell that one nasty std). My friend's mom asked the woman if she had any idea what those names meant, and the woman replied, "No, I just thought they were pretty."
